Nuclear power is on a hot streak, but key questions remain
Description
The nuclear industry is on a hot streak, with the federal government backing the restart of one shuttered plant, Palisades Nuclear Generating Station, and another, the Three Mile Island plant, also slated to fire up again. POLITICO’s Catherine Morehouse breaks down the latest nuclear news, the Biden administration’s involvement, and what’s driving the industry’s revival. Plus, a new Congressional Budget Office analysis shows that every dollar spent on federal projects to help communities adapt to flooding reduces damages by $2 to $3 on average.
